Songs that connect us to our feelings / trauma

Hi all,

I have a lot of songs that connect me to my trauma, as a means of helping me get into processing. Some bring up sadness, some bring up anger, some bring up loneliness - but i see it as processing as i am blocked off.

Here are some of mine:

- i will survive by gloria gaynor
- Nothing else matters (metallica)
- Concrete Angle (Martina McBride)
- It shouldnt hurt to be a child (very triggering) - unsure of writter
- I dont care by Apocalyptica

keen to see what others have also?
thanks
